Problems solved by technology

As a result, there is a lot of resource capacity that is left unutilized.
Unfortunately, techniques for bulk transfer of data that are used for database provisioning entail manual intervention and therefore cannot be used to effectively provision data automatically and dynamically as is required for grid computing.
Because Grid computing requires that data provisioning be performed automatically and dynamically, database provisioning that requires the bulk transfer of data is not amenable for Grid computing.

Embodiment Construction

[0034]A method and apparatus for automatic and dynamic provisioning of databases is described. In the following description, for the purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the present invention.

[0035]Approaches described herein may be used for provisioning of databases that requires a bulk transfer of data within in a distributed computing environment, such as a grid. The approaches do not require the manual intervention of a DBA to, for example, transfer a tablespace between the file systems of operating systems. Instead, the tablespaces may be provisioned automatically and dynamically by a grid computing system whenever it determines the need to dynamicall...

Abstract

Approaches described herein may be used for provisioning of databases that requires a bulk transfer of data within a distributed computing environment, such as a grid. The approaches do not require the manual intervention of a DBA to, for example, transfer a tablespace between the file systems of operating systems. Instead, the tablespaces may be provisioned automatically and dynamically by a grid computing system whenever it determines the need to dynamically provision a database. In addition, as copies of tablespaces are provisioned, synchronization mechanisms can also be automatically provisioned to keep the tablespaces and their copies in sync.
